Reply to the e-mail that told you there was a "New Turn Available". Attach your .plr file to the reply. DO NOT edit the code between the the tildes (~) in the message subject.

I tried it last night but I don't think it worked. It never said "turn uploaded via email" and it was mentioned I didn't do my turn before the host redid the turn with my file. I assume the turn file was sent to the host, not PBW.

You mentioned not editing between the ~, well when I replied the subject started with RE:, seemingly removing the last 3 characters including the end ~.

You'll need to repair the subject line next time.

No, the turn is sent from "turn@pbw.cc", and the reply goes to that same address.

e-mail delivery isn't perfectly reliable. I personally don't trust sending in my turns that way; I only use e-mail if the server is down when I try to go to the site to upload it.

Which game was this, and what e-mail program are you using? I can't remember the last time I saw a subject line long enough to be truncated in the reply.
